need some TV help ....

[bigsportsguy2006]

i have an old tube TV we use in the spare bedroom (just a small 28 incher, nothing special), and during my move recently, something must have happened .... now when i plugged it in and connected it, all i get is a white screen, however the sound is perfect and crystal clear ... ive tried changing the channel, or pressing the menu button, etc ... nothing shows up just a very bright white screen .... anyone have any tips to try and fix it? i cant see any channels. im starting to think it musta got banged during the move and it wont work now ... not a huge loss, but would be nice to fix it if possible... any suggestions??

You're screwed, repair will be more than the tv basically. Once the screen is ****ed up it's ****ed up

did you plug in that digital box receiver?
you need that on old tvs.
that could be it.

i would toss those bulky tvs, donate them, etc....

i stopped at tube...tvs so cheap nowadays bsg, put 200 down for a small flat one..

just toss it dude.....by the time u get someone to look at it and do any repair u could have a new flat screen of a nice little size...hhgregg is very reasonable in our area and some times have cheaper display models in store...good luck
Digital TVs 30" and Up

Gonna cost you $150-$200 to fix. You can get 32inch flat screen for $275 -$300 at best buy.

Find the"reset" button on the back and press it 2-3 times. All older tv's have one, usually a small red button. GL

u sure you have the rabbit ears up on it? are you having the same problem on the UHF channels that you are having on the VHF ones?

[Ron Mexico]

rabbit ears!!! LOL.... remember that shit? And having to get up and change the channel. Dont miss those days.

just take half the estimated repair cost and parlay it into a brand new flat screen, its easy man, and I know you can do that by the end of the day

appreciate the feedback fellas ... i kinda felt the same way to just pitch it, but just thought i'd ask. like you all said, id never pay to have someone fix it, but if someone had a quick solution, it woulda been nice. i might mess with it for a few minute today, otherwie ill be getting a new one. thanks guys
